It sounds like you broke the servo gears. Open up the servo and take a look. There ought to be a couple teeth missing. This would be suprising given the super-plush servo saver.

i need help on choosing a brushless system on my 18t. i am thinking on getting a reedy brushless 9000kv, but im afraid this will rip the differentials. Do i need to upgrade them or can i leave them stock? thank[8D]

the only real mod is a brushless system. the car is built so well that i dont really need any other mods.[8D]

My Feedback: (4)

They do need some mods... put a bl system in it stock rc18 and you will not be able to keep it straight. you need to upgrade at least the steering link such as this [link]http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=7421&cat_name=[/link]. The steering has much play in it. and also you can get dirt in your spur/pinion mesh if your not careful.

Hello!

I've been racing the RC18T since it came out. Inow am more interested in obtaining lipos, because I am noticing that they are, in most cases, a cheaper/better option for the R/Cworld.
Iam currently using a mamba 6800kv setup, and I find that even my older 1100mah NiMhs are more than enough to last me a single race. With this in mind, Irecently discovered these lipos that I have become curious about. The specs are as follows:

a2j812

With the specs you've given, you should see a noticeable improvement, but make sure that you have the correct equipment for lipo. You'll certainly need a lipo charger and balancer.
I'd be a little nervous using a $7.00 lipo though. You may get what you paid for.

FloridaDude

Hey don't diss the cheap lipos, I have 3 $10 lipos and they are amazing, one pack I have I've got 200+ charges on it and it still rocks. I'm never gonna buy expensive lipos.
